![]() Thankfully, there is no penalty for dying in this game. ![]() Your characters will do nothing what you want them to do without repeated, pointless clicking and swiping and even then they’ll go somewhere else, fall and die. I understand that playing a game on a touchscreen is not easy and requires some amount of patience but this is purely frustrating and no amount of patience made the controls bearable. While this may sound fine in theory, in practice it is horrendous. To make a jump, you swipe your finger at an angle. To move your character, you either tap where want to move or drag your finger in the direction where you want him or her to move. However, the developers have eschewed traditional joystick controls in favor of point and drag controls. One of the major changes made to the game in the transition to the small screen was a reworked control system. The puzzles aren’t ruthlessly difficult but a careful observation of your surroundings and some good ol’ fashioned head scratching is required to get though. You also have to go back and forth a bit at times to recover an object that was elsewhere or take something you find here and go back to something you saw previously but couldn’t do anything about it back then because you didn’t have the right piece of the puzzle. The puzzles are generally quite tricky and the solution is never really obvious. ![]() Right from the start the game makes this very clear so you know what you’re in for from the beginning. Some can be solved by one character while others require a bit of teamwork. The puzzles in The Cave are quite ingenious. Of course, the other two characters assist the knight in his quest but he’s the main character in this one. Like one mission where you have to pull a sword out of a stone, which only appears if you have chosen the knight as one of your three characters. Then there are some puzzles that are exclusive to the characters you choose. You’ll just have to find a different way of solving the puzzle then, which is the best part since there are often different ways to solve some of the puzzles. Having said that, because the game is designed to be played with all seven characters, the special abilities will only make things easier in some cases and not totally impossible if you don’t have that particular character. If you move far enough the others will automatically follow you without you having to go back and bring them ahead one by one.Īs mentioned earlier, each character has a special ability, which comes in handy at specific instances. You can tap at the designated icon for each character at the bottom left to switch between them and then control them. In another, you have to use one character to distract an enemy while you use the other to steal an object.Ĭontrolling three characters sounds like a chore but it isn’t, actually. ![]() Some of them require team work, so for example, in one puzzle you’d need one of the characters to hold a lever so the other can pass through the gate. The reason you need three characters is due to the way the puzzles are designed. Once you go in, you can’t change them and you are stuck with the ones you chose for the rest of the game. ![]() Each has a special ability, so for example, the knight can make himself invincible to attacks, the scientist can hack into systems, the adventurer can grapple onto hooks and make long jumps, etc.Īt the beginning, the game makes you pick any three characters to enter the cave. There is the knight, hill billy, scientist, adventurer, monk, time traveller and the twins (yeah, the twins are counted as one). As mentioned before, The Cave features seven different characters. ![]()
